Fascinating Travel Destinations for Holiday Inspiration!

Fascinating travel destinations - those words set my mind racing! How
about you? Do you spend your time dreaming about the next holiday in some far away place? Where their way of living is reminiscent of an earlier time, and the colourful locals, appear to be in a cultural time warp?

Or the amazing scenic trip where the pictures your friend sent you, start you dreaming, and ........scheming?

Are you always looking with envy at those tropical destinations where the sea is an impossible blue, and the sand doesn't have a shell out of place? But the sun is definitely shining!

Or do the vibrant, multicoloured birds in their lush jungle homes beckon?

Not to mention the animals we know so well in the zoo,romping across
barren plains of an African veldt!

If you are constantly seeking information for that next inspirational
holiday then you must be a traveller....... like me. It is a total addiction, isn’t it! You just can’t wait for the next trip to somewhere. Welcome to the club!

Where will your dreams take you next?

So which fascinating travel destination is your next holiday or vacation going to take you to? I don’t know about you, but I tend to be influenced by the experiences of others. As soon as I hear their story I start delving around finding out more.

Next thing, their fascinating travel destination is “on the list”. You know.......that list you keep of places you will get to some day – soon! I have quite a long one. But I am lucky to have also ticked quite a few off – over 75 so far! Mind you - that has taken quite a few years.

I guess most travel destinations fascinate us for different reasons. In many countries the fascination is with the history and architecture. Europe is about castles, museums, art galleries, villages, historic towns and cities.

In other countries it is the juxtaposition of old and new unique man made elements,that makes for some fascinating travel destinations.

Just look at that Birds Nest built for the China Olympic Games! Yet, when you see a structure like Angkor Wat in Cambodia and think about the tools they had to build it, it is a truly amazing feat.

I was bemused by a friend's disappointment in Kyoto. "It was all old, historic buildings, and I was hoping to see interesting modern buildings like Tokyo," she commented. For me it was the historic and traditional character of Kyoto that I really loved. Tokyo is fascinating, but in a different way.

Destinations for the adventurer who likes the challenge of trekking, mountain climbing, remote jungle canoe trips, an African Safari and other adrenaline pumping activities are plentiful.......It is the choosing that can be the most difficult!

"Planting the seed......

Of course any traveller loves to regale their travel stories.....funny,strange, exciting...the good and the bad! I have plenty I will share in time. Don’t let them put you off! The "incidents" are what makes a trip a truly unique....and memorable experience.

I am chuckling as I write, thinking of one or two memories. And of course every experience is also a lesson in what to do.....or not to do when you visit that
destination.

Sit back and enjoy !

So sit back and enjoy my site. Fascinating Travel Destinations is for
